Interesting insight came out of a conversation I had with a respected leader of the business community. Rob Ford is Rob Ford but the reason he got elected is because he is consistently sending out the same message. You know what you are going to get with the guy. So you may not like him but, you can probably trust him.
For business, what my source said is that Ford would help level the playing field between union and non-union bidders for municipal projects. Because the unions are so familiar with the work and they have the infrastructure to support the bids, there is no reason for why they should not be successful at bidding. But, their pricing is highly inflated and we are all suffering those costs. Makes sense to me.
